The coexistence of Czechs and Germans in South Bohemia during the interwar period
KALMA, Pavel
This thesis deals with a topic that predates the controversial events of the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans. It is one of the chapters of Czech-German coexistence, which influenced and co-shaped the development in the Czech and Moravian lands for a long time. The topic chosen for this work is the coexistence of Czechs and Germans during the period of the Czechoslovak First Republic, which was strongly influenced by the Munich Agreement in the autumn of 1938. In my thesis I focused on the initial and final stages of the newly established state. The attitude of Germans living in the Czech lands towards the new Czechoslovak state and its very creation was examined, as well as the attitude of Czech society towards the German minority, which in the early days tended to refuse to participate in the state under Czech rule. In my work I have tried to summarize at least some of the conditions of the coexistence under study and its historical development, as well as the events of the last pre-war years, especially the dramatic year 1938, which ended with the withdrawal of the German-occupied borderlands.
